More About This Book

Overview

Stay slim and mentally sharp by choosing foods that keep your waistline trim and your brain well fed. Renowned neurosurgeon Larry McCleary, M. D., became fascinated by the paradox of the fattening of America and the brain starvation he was seeing in aging brains. His research led to this innovative conclusion: Calories you consume are bypassing your brain and being stored in fat cells. In Feed Your Brain Lose Your Belly, he reveals how ''sticky'' fat cells send mixed messages to your brain, causing you to experience persistent hunger, to overeat, and to gain weight as a result.

If you are ready to get in touch with the signals your body generates so that you work with, not against, your innate metabolic machinery, this book is the tool you've been seeking. Weight loss will be easy as you keep hunger at bay while providing your brain with the high-octane fuel it thrives on. Feed Your Brain Lose Your Belly pairs its advice with 7 days' worth of helpful meal plans and plenty of delicious recipes.

Dr. McCleary's counterintuitive perspective on the benefits of brain-healthy fat consumption--supported by clinical testing with a group that called themselves the ''Biggest Losers''--will help you make critical decisions about your diet. Learning to choose foods that prevent the production of sticky fat cells rather than forcing yourself to eat less is the best way for you to feed your hungry brain cells and stay thin.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The key to rejuvenating injured and aging brains, eating well, and losing weight, neurosurgeon McCleary (The Brain Trust Program) states, is controlling blood glucose levels with a diet rich in lean protein, healthy fats, and high-fiber, complex carbs. Not surprisingly, on McCleary's diet nutrient-poor, sugar and "bad" fat-laden foods are strictly limited. While not new, McCleary's advice is appealingly packaged; his precise, persuasive voice reveals flaws in other diets; explains the science behind nutritional medicine; urges the wisdom of moderate exercise; and motivates readers to avoid the typical diabetic spiral by accessing their own metabolic power. Along with McCleary's generous meal plans (recipes included), his perceptive discussion of the "personal toll of being overweight" and the emotions that often arise with lifestyle changes makes this title a standout among other programs on the market promising health turnarounds.
